[Spacewalk-list] Cobbler template error when using the kickstart template wizard

[Tim Tedford]

Could this problem be related to running Spacewalk on Scientific Linux? I
have been through everything that I can think to check, and have found no
reason for this behavior.

The kickstart template output in "/var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard" has no
instanced of a $SNIPPET() having more than one argument, but there is one
line that seems odd:

%pre$kickstart_start$SNIPPET('pre_install_network_config')

All of the other $SNIPPET lines are alone on their lines. What generates the
files in /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Tim
